RE: Newborn DNA Collection Services: Where is the "Informed Consent"?

in #humanrights6 years ago

I feel there should be a law against such acts huw the government. If nothing the parents should be adequately informed about the DNA testing on their children and should be given a choice. These children are not lab rat they are humans. I believe Some form of restrictions should be put in place.

Sort:  

100% agree with you. In my opinion the parents should be informed and should have total "say-so" over the samples. It should be the parents choice to allow the samples to be used in research or if it gets destroyed. It is also my opinion that they should only be allowed to run the test once, if for some reason they need to re-test for something. The parents should be notified and a new sample taken (and again NOT STORED).

Yes I totally agree and there should be a monitoring system in place for non compliance. This has been going on since the 90s and nobody picked up the issue. It's sad

Right! This should be explained in detail to the parents before birth. There is so much going on during the birth and after the baby is born. Handing the parents a pamphlet is not enough... Also parents should know the pros and cons to all of this and what all their options are.

True. Thanks for sharing and I hope someone stands up and create a change. Thank you for your time Sir its a pleasure. Nice chatting with you.

If more people banned together a change might be possible. It has been my pleasure chatting with you, but Sir is my partner, I am a lady ^^ (TBL is a team).
